Ashley Benson might have played a wild child on screen in Spring Breakers, but in her real life she isn’t anything like her rebellious character!

Ashley Benson — Nude Scenes In Her Future?

“I never want to do nudity that’s gratuitous. Girls look so much better in lingerie or a t-shirt and leave the rest up to the imagination. I make it clear that I have a line. Everyone tries to push you, and it’s easy to get talked into doing those things. I’ll just walk off-set. But not everyone realizes they can do that,” she said. We think it’s so cool that Ashley stands up for herself.

Ashley Benson — Why She Won’t Do Drugs:

Although some may think drugs are a part of the young culture in Hollywood, don’t expect to see Ashley indulging anytime soon — she definitely knows better. “There are drugs and alcohol in my family on both sides, so I’ve seen lives ruined, going to jail and all that. Once you start with any drug, it can be an addiction – that’s why I never want to start and am not even tempted, because that chain is relentless. And if it runs in your family, you see how unglamorous it is. I would never want to be out of control with my body,” she said.

Ashley Benson & Ryan Good:

The star also gushed about her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ryan Good, and admitted that dating in Hollywood can be tough. “Ryan is one of the strongest people I’ve met, so grounded and such a positive influence on people. We took a break because it was so hard. I work 20 hour days, so I’m always gone. So a lot of your relationship is on the phone and iChatting and trying to catch up,” she said.
